North Texas is a sheep that’s about to be led to slaughter. While it’s true that a Sun Belt Conference school, Louisiana-Monroe, went into Tuscaloosa and shocked Alabama four years ago, that 2007 upset was very much a product of the fact that Alabama was trying to rebuild under current coach Nick Saban.

Colt McCoy has been able to shatter most of college football’s most notable quarterback records, but breaking the SEC streak in the BCS Championship game is going to be tougher than most of his challenges. The NCAA’s winningest college quarterback lost his Heisman trophy to the Crimson Tide’s Mark Ingram thanks to a poor effort in the Big 12 Championship game against Nebraska. Facing Alabama’s top ranked defense is going to prove whether McCoy is a big game player, and could very well affect his long term NFL draft stock.
The College Football season may be 7-8 weeks away but our man James Hayes has been deep in study and will provide his take and 2009 College Football Predictions on as many NCAA teams as he can before the 2009/10 season kicks off.

Saban won a National Championship with LSU in 2003, and he’s back for his second season in Tuscaloosa after going 7-6 last year (4-4 in the SEC). Saban may have flamed out with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, but there’s no denying his ability to coach and recruit at the collegiate level, which immediately makes Bama a dangerous squad.
Despite being ranked 24th in the country, Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide open as a five-point dog versus Clemson on Saturday. Ranked #9, Clemson appears to be the class of the ACC and Coach Tommy Bowden is feeling the heat to win his first league title since 1991.
